End Time Revelation Series

Pergamos, Gog And Magog

We are doing an end times teaching because we are moving into a different phase of end times. As leaders, whenever we have been alerted by the spiritual world, we have to bring such updated information to the attention of the Body of Christ. As to the change and a major shift in the world towards another episode or another phase of the end times that God is bringing forth. There is a ready shift and a transition that has already taken place in the spirit. The shifting has already finished, the transition has already happened in the spirit world and is going to have the effect in the physical world over the next one, two, three years. We are going to see them come to pass. We need to bring it to the attention, especially to the people in the ministry, believers who are interested in what is happening in the world economy and business people who wants to know how to project their future to come. The Bible did tell us in John 16 that God will show us things to come. And we need to be aware of it from the biblical perspective. Joh 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. In the Church of Pergamos in the book of Revelation 2:13 Rev 2:13 I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth. There was a double mention of Satan here in this verse - Satan’s seat and where Satan dwells. We have always taken it as a figure of speech. But sometimes the Bible reveal something in the spiritual without revealing everything. For example, how do we know that one third of angels have fallen? It is a very evangelical theology. Do you know that this is based only on one verse in the Bible? It is based on the verse that says that the dragon’s tail knocked down one third of the stars. And that is how we have the theological teaching that one third of the angels have fallen, which is correct.

Rev 12:4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: The Bible didn’t mean it to tell us. If it meant to tell us, it would have told us in the beginning of the Bible. Sometimes the Bible gives insight here and there and it so happened to be revealing those things. When Jesus said that his disciples would flee, Peter said that he would never leave Him. That’s when Jesus told Peter that before the cock crows, he would have denied Him three times. Jesus also prayed for Peter to be converted. He already prayed for Peter but He didn’t intend to tell Peter. You can pray for people without letting them know what they will be going through. Jesus wouldn’t have told him if Peter wasn’t so sure of himself, saying he wouldn’t betray Jesus. Luk 22:31 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: Luk 22:32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren. Luk 22:33 And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into prison, and to death. Luk 22:34 And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me. Luk 22:55 And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were set down together, Peter sat down among them. Luk 22:56 But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire, and earnestly looked upon him, and said, This man was also with him. Luk 22:57 And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not. Luk 22:58 And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou art also of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not. Luk 22:59 And about the space of one hour after another confidently affirmed, saying, Of a truth this fellow also was with him: for he is a Galilaean. Luk 22:60 And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew. Luk 22:61 And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. Luk 22:62 And Peter went out, and wept bitterly. Before the cock crowed twice, he denied Him thrice. In Revelation 2:13, the Bible refers to Pergamos as Satan’s throne. I know that Satan is a fallen angel who made his abode in the heavenly places above the earth. But when he relates to the wicked evil spirits of darkness and all his demons, and disembodied spirits and principalities and powers, he has to have a communication point. Where on earth was his communication point? For over three thousand years, it was based on Pergamos. And I will tell you why also, afterwards.

When Ps David went on the seven churches tour, one of the places he went to was Pergamos. If you read the history of Pergamos which was called Pergamon under the Greek empire, they built an acropolis there bigger than the one in Greece itself. The one in Greece was just a religious place but the one in Pergamos was much bigger and was the main place the public went to. Over there they built the temples of Athena and Zeus, which to the Greeks, the main king of the gods. The angels told Ps David that Satan had already chosen and isolated that place three thousand years ago. Why did he do that? Three thousand years before February 9th 2012, when Ps David went to Pergamos, is equivalent to 1000 BC, the time David conquered Jerusalem after he was made king over Israel and made Jerusalem his capital. Up to that time God had dwelt in a tent. The tent housing the Ark of the Covenant was in Shiloh, then captured by the Philistines before being returned to the Jews and then placed in Beershemesh, which is a suburb of Jerusalem and when King David officially welcomed the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem, God set His seal on Jerusalem. Even the heavenly city in the book of Revelation is called the spiritual Jerusalem. And it is not the physical Jerusalem because the size of the spiritual Jerusalem is enormous. Jerusalem or Jeru Shalom means City of Peace. God set His place in Jerusalem where the Ark was designed to be and later the Temple was built there for the Ark. Towards the end of his reign, David made all the preparations for his son Solomon to built the Temple on Mount Moriah where Abraham offered Isaac as a sacrifice to God. God has His established His presence in the Shekinah Ark of glory in Jerusalem. At the same time that God established Jerusalem as His focal point of presence in the Temple there, Satan copycatted and built his throne in Pergamos outside of Israel where in ancient times was known as Anatolia. It doesn't exist now. The kingdom of Anatolia is where west Turkey is today and in that region Satan also set up his headquarters to counter God’s HQ in Jerusalem. And all the next thousand years before Christ, until Christ came, the second temple, and until today at the Wailing Wall, there is cherubim placed there by God where God sort of sealed His physical presence there. Throughout 2000 years of Church history Satan had his throne in Pergamos. The angel of Pergamos told Ps David that there is a stronghold in Pergamos, inferring that Satan’s throne was physically and actually still there. Ps David and I fasted three days for Pergamos. So when Revelation 2 mentioned that Pergamos is where Satan’s throne is, I interpret it as literal and I think I am still biblical about it. Just as some Bible scholars interpret the dragon and its tail as being allegorical, I interpret it as literal. I believe that Satan literally set his headquarters there in Pergamos. Satan can still travel all over the world in a split second and dominating the earth but he has a HQ opposing God. Although Jerusalem and Pergamos are thousands of miles apart in the physical, in the spiritual realm they are just opposite each other. Satan could have chosen other places like the North Pole but he chose Pergamos and his influence was there. Can you imagine down through the Church ages, his throne was still there in Pergamos.

During the time of the book of Revelation 2 and 3, there are powerful mega churches throughout Asia Minor and the Middle East, and in all the areas that Paul and the other apostles traveled like the Jerusalem Church was a powerful Church, the Antioch Church was also a powerful Church, the Philippian Church also a powerful Church, the Corinthian Church is an influential Church, Ephesian Church is also included, and many powerful churches that Paul established. Why did Jesus Christ choose, outside of the Ephesian Church, six other unknown churches? You know why? They are all located and targeted towards Pergamos. If you look at the map of the seven churches, you will find they are all targeted towards Pergamos.

You would notice that the other six churches are pointing towards Pergamos in an attacking position.

If you look at the overall map of Asia Minor and Israel together, the other six churches seem to be shielding Jerusalem from the line of attack from Pergamos. I want to read some prophecies with regard to the trip made to Asia Minor. We want to make a comparison of Bible prophecies of the end times and the new prophecies given on that trip to Asia Minor. Ps David saw a spiritual battle between angels and evil spirits that look like gods and spirits of men. The evil spirits were warring against the angels and there were observers too. And Ps David saw in a vision of stars rising and stars falling. The heavens were a colorful mix of fiery colors, fiery clouds and many kinds of winds. The Spirit of God spoke in one of the vision dreams that Ps David had, “Turkey will bring gifts to Israel and send envoys to build diplomatic relations.” But the voice further said, “Beware of the person who brings free gifts.” We are going to talk about Turkey as the seven churches are in Turkey. In Paul’s time it was Assyria. It was Anatolia in ancient times way before Paul’s time and it was one of the early civilizations and development. It was given in a vision to Ps David especially in regards to the end times and of Jesus’ Second Coming. One of the prophecies given in Ephesus was “Thus saith the Lord, this Church would be shaken first time for a season, all will see the folly of their gods and lusts and then it will be shaken again a second time, the leaders will be tested and sanctified by fire.” So there will be two shakings in the Church. One is taking place or in some places, it is already completed and another is coming. So looking at the map, we see here the seven churches in a V shaped formation and Israel is way down on the south east in the map. If we see the bigger perspective, Satan makes Pergamos his headquarters and a church was planted there in Pergamos in the time of the apostles. With all the difficulty that was going on, God was still doing some powerful things. What happened on February 9, 2012? After three thousand years of domination, where literally up to February the 9th, it was Satan’s headquarters. Something happened. As if God has predestined that in the time like ours, in the confluence of events that God raised up Ps David up and all the different places of ministry and prayers up, all the timing that we are in today, and I don't believe that it is only happening in our church alone, all the prayers of the church and all the prayers of the saints, all the accumulation of prayers because when the window opened on Pergamos, there was a saint we met there who was sent there to pray. All the prayers have gone on before us and we are just living in the end part of all the prayers of the saints who have been knocking on the wall and it was already shaking. When it came to the last part where we came in, just the last knock and the wall came crumbling down. Satan’s dominion there in Pergamos was broken on February the 9th, 2012. Something already happened spiritually. It was not just glory of God coming down, Satan lost his foothold on the earth.

That was why at that time the proclamation was given in the vision of Pergamos. We have this account here. The angel said that this mountain was used for idolatry and devil worship and it is time to claim it back. Where the temple was and where the Acropolis was, all these idolatrous things were three thousand years there. So there was spiritual warfare. At the end of that spiritual warfare, there were groups of angels blowing trumpets and groups of angels waving banners and all of them had swords drawn out. The whole mountain was surrounded by angels. In terms of human level and Greek architecture, Pergamon was very beautiful. It was very structured and was a Greek city on a mountain plateau. Shamah and all the other angels raised their swords and proclaiming together. As they proclaimed, these are the prophecies given from Psalm 47:8, Psalm 11:4 Psa 47:8 God reigneth over the heathen: God sitteth upon the throne of his holiness. Psa 11:4 The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD'S throne is in heaven. Tremble before Him all the earth, the world is firmly established and shall not be moved. Let the heavens be glad, let the earth rejoice. Let them say among the nations, the Lord reigns. Because of February the 9th, after three days of prayers, the glory of God came on Pergamos and Satan was kicked off from his throne there after three thousand years. Something powerful took place. Satan and all his fallen angels have been disjointed from their place. Up to now, they have no landing place. They have been disjointed. There are many fallen angels that are already bound in prisons. I have studied this matter closely. When Ps David was recording about the vision of the original battle that started in Ephesus, a lot of those fallen angels that were with Satan and were not bound under prison fled to the east, to Thyatira and as Ps David was doing warfare, there were three main evil spirits leaving. He mentioned three evil spirits leaving. These were the captains underneath Satan. They were warring during the time at Pergamos. You know why three? Look at the book of Revelation 16. This is an end times battle that we are facing before two more fallen angels that are bound under ice and snow in Siberia will be released. Rev 16:12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared. Rev 16:13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. Rev 16:14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

Verse 12 will take place later in the last week of Daniel. Verse 13 tells you that these three spirits are already working. These three spirits are not bound. These spirits are still on the loose, and right now as the Bible says, the spirit of lawlessness already working. We know the names of the two fallen angels bound under ice and snow in Siberia and they are Sorcery and Seduction. But these three unbound fallen angels are something else and they may link up together with the two currently bound. But their powers are going to increase as more evil spirits are going to be released, or allowed temporarily in the end times. Or you know that in the church age there is a lot of turmoil since February the 9th, 2012. Satan is trying to find some foothold and he is still battling and struggling. But the whole battle revolves around this region that covers modern day Turkey and towards Russia. Let us look at the map of the ancient world and we look at some things in the Bible. When we look at the ancient map, here is a puzzle that many of us ask.

Who are Gog and Magog? What do they represent? In the New Testament, Gog and Magog are mentioned in the book of Revelation only after the thousand years. That tells you how a geographical place is important even in time zones. Satan likes that place for some reason.

The ancient map we look at is based on the three sons of Noah, Ham, Shem and Japheth. Shem’s lines spread out to China and other parts too. Ham’s lines spread out to Africa. Psalm 105: 23 "Israel also came into Egypt...the land of Ham." These are facts from the Bible. I was accused of being a racist for bringing out these three sons of Noah and their descendants. No, in Christ there is neither male nor female, neither Jew nor Gentile. All racial lines are dissolved in Christ but there is nothing wrong to bring out our origins and cultural background without being ashamed. Each one has their advantages and disadvantages. The seven churches of the book of Revelation are situated on the western part of present day Turkey. There is a plain called Megiddo, which is to the north of Israel. It is a very important place because Megiddo is where the Armageddon battle is. Then we have the area where we have Rosh, Meshech, Tubal, Gog, Gomer, Togarmah, Ashkenaz. These areas of Gog and Magog are very important to them. These are all proximate calculations and measurements based on old maps by scholars trying to put things together of ancient history. If that is so, with Pergamos on the west side of Asia Minor and Gog and Magog on the east side of Asia Minor is very important. Why are they important? One day in the millennium, Gog will be leading a rebellion against the Lord Jesus Christ physically manifested in Revelation 19. It speaks of Jesus coming and putting the beast to flight in verse 19 and casting them to the lake of fire in verse 20. Rev 19:19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. Rev 19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. Then in Revelation 20, Satan was bound for one thousand years in verse 2. Rev 20:2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, Rev 20:3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season. After Satan is released after the thousand years have expired, Satan would be released and go out to deceive the nations from the four corners of the earth in verse 7-8. Rev 20:7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,

Rev 20:8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. Gog and Magog is north of Israel and they are trying to compete against the nation of Israel. They will come to the plains of Megiddo and come against Jerusalem. So here is the thing. Gog and Magog is going to attack Israel or Jesus who is ruling Israel after a thousand years, then we don't have to worry about Gog and Magog. But prophecies have dual fulfillment. There is an attack prophesied by Ezekiel 38 and 39 in our times. And then a thousand years later, another attack will come. Just like I mentioned Antiochus Epiphanes in the book of Daniel typify the Antichrist before the real Antichrist shows up. So Gog and Magog still play a role according to Ezekiel 38. Eze 38:2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him, Eze 38:3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: Meshech and Tubal are some of the former countries of Soviet Union like Georgia claim to be descendants of some of these people. The old name of Moscow was Moskva and they trace their ancestry to Meshech. That is why in Hal Lindsey’s book, “The Great Late Planet Earth” he interpreted Gog as Russia. Many people in modern times would interpret Gog and Magog as Russia. It includes Russia but the origins of Gog and Magog is modern day Turkey. That means that the nation of Turkey will play an important role in our end times. And these are some of the prophecies that Ps David had from the Lord. Let me read them to you. We bring our prophecies up to date, to our modern day. I read to you the prophecy given in Ephesus that Turkey will bring gifts to Israel, so that it is like establishing diplomatic relationship with Israel. So for some reason the nation of Turkey is involved with Israel too. And there was a warning. Obviously the ruling of the beast will involve Turkey in the picture. There are other prophecies as well. In Smyrna Ps David saw a realignment of the world. Most of the Asian countries no longer exist as they are. Japan, Taiwan, Singapore, Korea, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Malaysia, etc no longer exist as they were but they are all part of China. Whether these nations become provinces of China, or whether China’s influence extends over them like Europe influenced many, we do not know the actual physical political arrangement. But you will see China is going to grow and expand until it literally influenced these countries. Like today if you think of Europe, do you think of Lithunia or Latvia? No, you just think of Europe. These small countries exist with some independence but have

been swallowed up in the bigger influence of Europe. These are end times prophecies. Coordinating old with new. Philippines existed as a big place and the sense of the country must have been embarrassing. Something must have happened. We do not know. War, nuclear? We do not know. All the countries that are claiming the Spratly islands – Malaysia, Vietnam, Philippines – only the Philippines are quite daring. We do not know how long that will go on. Indonesia will continue as it is but will join with India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and these lands will be under the power of Russia. Russia is going to play a big role in that area. In Hal Lindsey’s book, The Late Great Planet Earth, Gomer was interpreted as Germany. But you can see that its position on the map is more than Germany too. Some of the races of the people might be spread out to two, three countries. Australia and New Zealand became one. They are almost one now through the Anzac treaty where citizens of Australia can stay in New Zealand and vice versa, so politically they are already quite one. The oceans will change. America will be closer to Africa. I am not sure how this will take place. Maybe a continental drift. South America is one with North America. Europe and the Middle East will be smaller, not in size but in boundary. There won't be many countries in future as they are now. There are a lot of things that will happen when you notice these countries. Since Satan has been removed from his throne in Pergamos and on the earth, things are happening in the spiritual realm, a lot of shakings are going to flow over the next decade or two, and we are going to see these things growing and growing to fulfill some of these prophecies. Let me read another part of these prophecies. As Pergamos was one of the seven churches and Satan’s throne was removed from Pergamos, it represents one of the victories of the Church. Why did God center the seven churches there? Pergamos now represents the end times revival over the Church. It is symbolic for the world. And the same place where the seven churches are, is where Gog and Magog and the rebellion of Satan will take place after the last one thousand years revival. Every principality and power loves this place. No wonder God put the seven churches there as the symbolic of end times. And as long as the Church is dominant, Satan cannot be dominant. But when the Church age is over and the glory of God resides back in Israel, it goes back again.

When Paul was at his prime in his first and second missionary journeys, he traveled to Galatia, Corinths, Athens. All these places in Asia Minor were where Paul traveled to. But what happened to them over two thousand years. Every one of those seven churches are broken down, are in ruins. It is a picture of the Church at large. And now spiritual God took back control of these seven churches, remember the seven churches are located in a V shaped formation, with Pergamos right at the center, a lot of the influence is going, a lot of the Old Testament and New Testament saints including Paul, Sadhu Sundar Singh came down and celebrated Pergamos’ victory. Something took place. Satan lost the grip over Pergamos. He saw the star falling. He lost some control over the earth. He is upset. He is angry and he is trying to stir strife. This are the other prophecies in those sectors there that we need to bring the reminder again. In Thyatira Ps David saw the church there which is an example of the church in Singapore and there were worms underneath. Remember the two Ephesus prophecies that there were two shakings in the Church. First shaking followed by the second shaking. In Thyatira the angel of the Lord said, “What do you see?” Ps David replied, “Five pillars.” Immediately after saying that, the five pillars crumbled and fell down in the vision. That was the first shaking. The angel of the Lord asked me again, “What do you see?” I saw another five pillars being built up from the broken pieces of the earlier pillars and new pieces were added to form five new pillars. The five pillars represent the fivefold ministries. The old ones are being removed, the new ones are being built. Some of the old ones are part of the new ones. Since the dethroning of Satan in Pergamos, God is restructuring the Church. Whether you felt the spiritual earthquake from Pergamos, it is already happening worldwide. Some pastors will die in their pulpits if they do not yield to the Spirit of God. Some will go off-track. But some will be broken down and be re anointed and be part of the new pillars. A lot of things will take place. In Thyatira, Ps David prophesied and did some anointing there, and then from Thyatira in a new vision, he traveled with many angels to many countries. As part of the same five pillars torn down, representing the fivefold ministries spread all over the world, Ps David says he saw churches being torn down, obliterated. Some of them in Singapore. Many churches were burning. People were getting out of churches, some of the churches were turned to be used for parks, some sank into the ground and were covered by the earth. Some visions could be allegorical, some could be literal. Then Ps David saw a map of America and he saw a great revival in America. It started from the east and south east area and spread to the whole country. There was a spillover to Mexico and South America and to Canada. That is some parts of what the Lord is doing over there.

Ps David said he saw civil wars breaking out in many parts of China. It hasn’t happen yet. In another vision, I saw a coalition of three countries, France, England and Germany making war with Russia. They advanced rapidly, captured Moscow and many other cities, but then Russia recovered, struck back and eventually conquered these three great nations and they sought a peace with Russia. There is turmoil going to happen there. Ps David continues, “I saw earthquakes in the west of Turkey.” When you see earthquakes, there will be great loss of lives and properties. “I saw wars on the north, south, east and western border.” The wars are taking place in Turkey. Remember how Turkey became powerful and sending envoys to Israel. A lot of shakings are going to happen. Some of you ask, “When?” Probably over the next many decades. You will see some changes in that direction because the spiritual world has already turned upheaval for the enemy. The enemy is repositioning himself in many dimensions while God is shaking the Church to prepare her for the end times revival that is coming forth. In Laodicea, Ps David said he saw sea creatures crawling up the coastlines of the Middle East countries and strange fowls making nests in the Middle East countries. All these creatures began to devour these people of the Middle East and out of fear, these people began to make sacrifices to graven images of these creatures to worship and to appease them. At the same time, he also saw Cathedral of Glory church in new premises and we were about 600 people and we were joyous in spirit and worshipping and having some spiritual feast. The prophecies that Ps David had were taken from Revelation 12:7-12 which speaks about Michael fighting against the dragon and his angels. Rev 12:7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, Rev 12:8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. Rev 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. Rev 12:10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. Rev 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. Rev 12:12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

There will be spiritual warfare in the heavenly places which will take place in the last week of Daniel but a type of it is happening in our times. The spiritual warfare is taking place. Scriptures like Psalms 2, the nations rage etc. Psa 2:1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? Psa 2:2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, Psa 2:3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. Psa 2:4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. Psa 2:5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure. Then Ps David was given to understand the character of the beast. “He is of a seductive nature, he has a great persuasive and deceitful powers and he was able to deceive any.” “I also saw the make up of the Antichrist. He is Jewish, Muslim and Christian combined together. This gifting is what the world seeks. He is able to please and assure every one.” That where he saw Gabriel talking to him. Remember in my earlier message I spoke about two huge spiders? One was a black tarantula and another a red and orange striped. The black one was injured as one of its legs was broken and it ran away to hide and recover. Remember the broken leg, I interpret, is the one in Europe. In Europe there are eight powerful nations, one has been weakened. That is why the spider has seven legs left. But the broken leg ran to hide to recover. But now it is healed and will come out to kill. The tiny one was caught and caged up but it will break the cage and escape and come out and start to kill. At some point, Ps David saw the spider again in part 2 in its extent of its influence. Now the second part to the vision of the two spiders. The black spider with the broken leg grew strong and began to trample on the nations in Europe. Remember Europe with eight nations, one weak, left seven, and it shook itself and its hairs fell on the surrounding nations. So from Europe, all the surrounding nations will be affected. Remember, Turkey is the main place. Russia is going to play a main role. England, France and Germany will attack Russia and be counter attacked, so there are a lot of things happening there. When the spider shook and affected the surrounding nations, some of the nations banded together to resist. Many surrendered. It is the rise of the ten toes, or the ten horns. Here is the part about Turkey. “I saw Greece and Turkey contending and at war. And surrounding nations took sides. Israel was also drawn into the conflict.” So there are a lot of turmoil happening there. How the events will take place and in what order, only God knows and future revelations will reveal more.

The tiny spider with the stripes laid eggs. The offsprings grew and went to all the nations of the Middle East and Africa and caused wars and deaths. And this tiny spider went over to reside in Saudi Arabia as its nest. It is both an interesting and important vision. So with that, we see end times coming up to our modern times. Where we are, how do we respond as I mentioned, I showed in the spiritual there is the Church advancing and rising up and Satan has lost something. The nations of the world are going through a tremendous turmoil. Let us look at the book of Revelation 16. Rev 16:12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared. This is fulfilled in the last week of Daniel but usually prophecies are dual prophecies. Which means that on the eastern area when you saw the expansion of power and in a recent vision when you went to Russia, as you looked over towards China and Korea and you had the other visions where you saw the raccoon like monkey. And then there was a tortoise and a phoenix came and pounded on them and the tiger held to the phoenix’s legs. And our interpretation is that the tiger is China. Phoenix is Japan. The tortoise is North Korea and the raccoon like monkey represents South Korea and all under their power. It is strange because when I was reading up on the prophecies and doing a little bit of historical research, they referred to the phoenix rising up from the ruins of war. We can see that in the times that we live in, that there are going to be some centers of power. The center of power that we have lived with in the 20th and 21th century is the British empire which we in South East Asia is grateful that the British brought Christianity, the system of government, the industrial revolution. Then we also saw America as a great influence of power. Though there are good things and bad things, we are also grateful for the missionaries that have gone forth. Much of Christian influence was first from England and then from America. We live in the changing times when the axis of power is changing. Europe’s power will come at the end times under the beast. But until then, the points of power rising higher and higher are China, Russia and surprisingly Turkey. Imagine a world where these countries are in power. And the world always has the balance of power. The small nations trying to play the good guys with all the big brothers around. But imagine living in that world. We need to be aware that throughout all those times that God is raising and preparing all the nations of the east until the end times. Then you have Ezekiel 38 and 39, Gog and Magog where it tells us that Gog in the land of Magog in verse 2

Eze 38:2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him, Meshech and Tubal is the whole region there. Ezekiel was told to prophesy against him. You know why? To stop him until the right time and to release to do what he is supposed to do. I read some of the prophecies of Ps David and the angels called him a prophet to the nations. “You shall prophesy and you shall open doors and shut doors. “ And they prophesied that he must be faithful in that just as Ezekiel was faithful to prophesy and give forth these prophecies. There is a word used when God shut up Satan for one thousand years in Revelation 20: seal upon him. Satan was sealed in the bottomless pit. Rev 20:3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season. Now you think back the opening of the seal. So we thought that the seal is something that we tie around a scroll and we slowly open the seal. Before the seals as understood in the book of Revelation 4,5 and 6 to be something that prevent the scroll to be unraveled, the seals were understood during the ancient times, probably during the time of Noah or Enoch, when the world was under rebellion, God sealed the four fallen angels in Euphrates, God sealed Apollyon and the fallen angels under him in the bottomless pit. Of course if God seal Satan, He would seal Apollyon and they would be dealt with in the lake of fire. And then God sealed the two fallen angels under snow and ice in Siberia. The seals are broken for a short time and are opened. And they are opened only when the Lamb of God was ready. And in the last week of Daniel, in the book of Revelation no one could open the seals. If you notice, when the seals are opened, all the bad things happened. But why open the seals? There is a purpose for God to do that, just as He let Satan out for a short while, to test mankind, to see whether they really mean it when they follow God. Some people follow God because it is the majority following but their hearts are not there. They don't qualify for the kind of Heaven that God is building. In Revelation 5, Rev 5:1 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals. So there are seals in Heaven that seal the scrolls and seals below that sealed that fallen angels.

Rev 5:2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof? Rev 5:3 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon. These seals are all judgments, so that is why no one could open them. John cried. Rev 5:4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon. Rev 5:5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. Jesus is the one to judge. As He released, He can control them. He is the only one, the Lamb of God. That refers to the last week of Daniel. In their time, there were some seals opened. Some vials and bowls were poured out. In our times, before Jesus comes for us, our Gentile Church age also got some seals opened, as we will see in the release of the two fallen angels, Sorcery and Seduction, for a short time. Some things are allowed to take place but Jesus will only allow it concurrently with the Lamb of God represented by His Church giving strength. Still at God’s mercy. It allows and incorporates this greatness of God to release it and strengthen the Church. We are going to talk about New Testament panorama. When Ps David went to the Cube, he met the apostle Paul. Paul was about 5ft 5in, stout looking fellow. Paul told Ps David that our end times revival will be all the New Testament revivals plus all the Old Testament signs and wonders reserved for this time. That is why he is doing what he is doing. We are praying for revival all the time but when it comes with its signs and wonders, we may end up rejecting it because it didn’t fit into our theology. Don't forget, even Paul got his theology wrong when Jesus came. As Jesus was to be taken away, some of His disciples even asked, “When will Israel be restored?” They still had the wrong notion that the Messiah will come and be king. They couldn’t see the part of the suffering Messiah and the Church age. So their theology had to be corrected and adjusted. Even now no theologians in the subject of eschatology has ever predicted that the Great Revival that will be coming will be accompanied by signs and wonders similar to those performed by Moses, Elijah and Elisha. For this to happen, we need the same kind of anointing and the same kind of fervor of men and women of God. Plus every thing that happened in the book of Acts, you could not imagine. But guess what? There is already a hint of it in the Bible. In the last week of Daniel, we need the anointings of Enoch and Elijah to withstand and some even say like Moses’ anointing. How much more in the Church’s ending? What kind of anointing do we need? We need equal and the same anointing of the Old Testament and New Testament saints except it will not be Jewish prophets coming but God will raise up prophets of the Church age.

Men and women of God with the anointing combined together in this end times revival and as the Church rises and as the Church matures, He that is withheld and taken away that the enemy can rise. But there is a balance that God allows. So when revival is ready and the Church matures, then God opens the door to the enemy because God knows that we are able to withstand. I quoted from Isaiah, When the enemy comes in like a flood, God raises a standard. Isa 59:19 So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him. We are the standard. So the seal is tied to Jesus and Jesus sets the time. In Ezekiel 38, when Gog and Magog rises, and I believe that it is in our time and not just at the end of the thousand years, these are the countries there in verses 4 to 8. Eze 38:4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of amour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords: Eze 38:5 Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet: Eze 38:6 Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee. Eze 38:7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them. Eze 38:8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them. And you know where the battle of Armageddon is? The word Armageddon is only found once in the whole Bible. Megiddo is found many times but Armageddon is found only one time in the Bible. It is before the thousand years. Armageddon is different from the other Gog and Magog battle. But there is a Gog and Magog version of it in our times but it is different from the Gog and Magog end times. Rev 16:14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. Rev 16:15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.

In verse 15, the coming of the thief always refers to the Rapture because the other coming in the book of Matthew where the light shines from the east to the west is something you can see. Mat 24:27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Whereas the coming in Revelation 16:15 is a coming like a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. Rev 16:16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. This happens during the outpouring of the sixth bowl before Revelation 19, Jesus’ Second Coming to the earth. So we see all these gatherings and all these signs of all these happenings, then how much and most likely we would see the rising of the ten horns. And a lot of displacements have to take place today until the ten horns rise. Eze 39:1 Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: Eze 39:2 And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel: These mountains of Israel is Armageddon or Megiddo. Eze 39:3 And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand. Eze 39:4 Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands, and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured. Eze 39:5 Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD. Eze 39:6 And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the LORD. While all those general prophecies about the countries of the world are happening that we talked about, we realize that it is going to be an interesting next 10, 20, 30 years (2012-2042). Of course there is nothing to be afraid. God is going to preserve those who love Him. You are marked by God and God is going to preserve you. Through all those happenings, God will preserve us? Yes. How

will God preserve us? In the same way God preserved the saints in the Old Testament, and in the last week of Daniel, He will preserve us. Eze 9:3 And the glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon he was, to the threshold of the house. And he called to the man clothed with linen, which had the writer's inkhorn by his side; Eze 9:4 And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof. These saints do not know they were marked. Why did God mark them? So that when war takes place, because at that time Jerusalem will be attacked, the angels would be protecting those with the mark. Those who were not marked were marked for death. Eze 9:5 And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity: Eze 9:6 Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house. God gave specific instructions not to touch those with the mark. Those marked are those who cried against sin. When you cry against abominations, God marks you. I know my mark. My mark was given in 1986 after I saw Jesus. The night after I saw Jesus and I was still in a spiritual daze after that vision in the early hours of the morning the next day, I saw a ball of light became words, “Holiness unto the Lord” and it came nearer and nearer and touched me on the forehead. The moment it touched me on the head, I was in the spirit and was taken up high where I could see the curve of the earth and I could feel the love of God for the earth. Then I knew what God felt like in John 3:16. I felt God’s tremendous love that God felt for the earth. It was like you have compassion for people who are sick, deprived or destitute. Multiply that compassion a million billion times and you will feel what God’s compassion is like. It is like when one sparrow fell and died, you felt the pain. It was not easy because love causes pain. And every imperfection on the earth was causing God’s heart to ache. And I couldn't stand that kind of love very long. It is an awesome feeling but it is very painful. Then I understood what Paul meant by the statement that the whole earth groans. God could feel every groaning. Every imperfection is felt by God. It is just like your little toenail is broken, your whole body feels it. God’s Spirit is immersed in every atom and molecule of planet earth. Every thing that is imperfect is causing Him pain. It was how the love of God felt like. From that day onwards, I always knew that there is a mark on me. It never left. When God gives something, it is permanent.

In the book of Revelation, even in the last days during the worst times in the great tribulation, notice that in a way God already marked His people. Rev 6:6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine. Why is God interested in the oil and wine? God is not referring to the physical oil and wine but is referring to their spiritual meanings. The oil and the wine refer to the two aspects of the Holy Spirit. Wine is the filling of the Holy Spirit, oil is the anointing of the Holy Spirit. So those who have the anointing and those who have the infilling of the Holy Spirit are protected. That is their mark. And of course don’t forget in Revelation 7: 4 there were 144,000 marked and sealed. Rev 7:4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel. So in the end times there is an anointing that seals and marks us. And let that anointing grow within us. Let us be like that five wise virgins. Allow the Holy Spirit to fill you, allow the mark of God glow within you. Now the enemy can recognize that mark. He knows that you are marked for God. What if I backslide a little, do my mark get tarnished a little too? God in His predestination and foreknowledge before He marked you, He already knew what you would choose. He marks you by foreknowledge and predestination. That is why God says, “Those whose names are not written in the Lamb’s Book of Life will worship the beast.” Rev 13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. Rev 17:8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. God knows all our choices. And looking at all our choices, He marked us. Somehow we could tell deep within our hearts our real choices, even though the outward choices may stumble and fall but He knows that you are His. In the end, you are solidly His 100%. I close with Isaiah 41 and I will ask this question. Who are the coastlands of the east?

Isa 41:1 Keep silence before me, O islands; and let the people renew their strength: let them come near; then let them speak: let us come near together to judgment. The word “islands” in verse 1 is also translated as “coastlands”. Why coastlands? Why these far off people? Let the people renew their strength. Now don’t forget, in those days they didn’t have chapters and verses in the Bible. Isaiah 41 comes after Isaiah 40. in Isaiah 40:37 is the verse about they who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. I believe Isaiah was talking about the Church age. Now most scholars refer to this part as referring to Abraham. I believe that this is a dual prophecy that points to our end times revival that rises from the east as God so signify. Isa 41:2 Who raised up the righteous man from the east, called him to his foot, gave the nations before him, and made him rule over kings? he gave them as the dust to his sword, and as driven stubble to his bow. Now the above verse 2 points to Abraham and to Jesus. I want you to know that Jesus delegated to His Church such power in Revelation 3. God already started promising all His powers and authority. Rev 3:21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. And then, not overlooking at the promises that are given in Revelation 2:26 to those who overcome. Rev 2:26 And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: That is why Psalms 2 says to ask and I will give you the nations as your inheritance. Psa 2:8 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. When we go back to Isaiah 41, I believe that it contains prophecies of end times revival. I have been reading Isaiah 40 to 42 through and through. Part of it points to Jesus but it points to us in the Church fulfilling the works that Jesus has. Part of it refers to Israel and in type it refers to the revival that God wants to bring forth. Isaiah 42:1 obviously refers to Jesus. Isa 42:1 Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth (obviously this refers to Jesus); I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.

But though it refers to Jesus, it quickly mentions the Gentiles as if he didn’t want to miss us out. Jesus is going to bring judgment to the Gentiles – He is going to reign over the Gentiles. Again he turns around and points to us. In verse 4, Isa 42:4 He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law. In the above verse, the isles is also translated as coastlands. Why the coastlands and not the earth? I believe it is prophetic; God knows that revival is coming forth and new things that God raises. Isa 42:6 I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles; Notice the phrase “for a light of the Gentiles” – there is an emphasis on the Gentiles in this part of Isaiah more than any other part of the book of Isaiah, as if the Gentiles are now a focus. Of course it now points to the Church age too. The Church age is known as the Gentiles period when the Messiah is the King of kings and Lord of lords to the Gentiles. The reason why we are bringing forth these prophecies to our attention is that something has changed. If your spiritual eyes are opened or if your spirit man is captured and taken into the spiritual world, which in prayer I have always been able to enter in all the time. Ps David has also entered into that realm. We see that a lot of things have changed. There are a lot of realignment of the energy fields in the spiritual world. Even in the last prayer walk we did here in Singapore, there is a spiritual realignment in the atmosphere above this place. There are a lot of things happening in the Church world and spiritual world. Our job is to inform you that these things are already happening so that you can receive the things of the spirit. If you ever doubt Shamah, Ps David’s angel, go back and read what we have put up in our websites, petertan.org and petertan.net, on the seven churches’ outline and ask yourself whether the devil could give this kind of message, to ask people to turn to holiness or tell people to turn back to the Lord, or call out to holiness. You got three choices. One to reject it and miss out on the greatest blessing of your entire life. Two, to accept it and embrace the greatest revival that you ever live to see and the greatest blessings and taste of the greatest signs and wonders and marvels of the mysteries of the spirit as never been given to any other generation. Three, be like Gemalial who said that if this is of God, it will last but if it is not of God, it will not last. Don’t oppose, but don’t support either. And you will miss out on all those blessings that God has for those who enter early.

This is how you test every revelation – does it bring you closer to God or further from God? If it brings you closer to God, why do you refuse it? Number 2, does it glorify Jesus or it is trying to glorify man? We will be the first to tell you, we feel very inadequate. And this took us by surprise and it is with fear and trembling that we work with archangels and spirit beings. Number 3, does it lead you to read God's Word more or read God's Word less? All these things have been given, makes you want to go back to the Bible. The whole Bible comes alive. This is the response of my whole family when they hear of these things, “Wow, like the Bible comes alive.” Number 4, is there a love of God and holiness and spirituality? Did Shamah come and say, “No need to pray. Pray less. No need to fast, eat more.” He actually told us to pray and fast more, things that we naturally don't like to do. I remember when Shamah told Ps David that Daniel had a dream and he saw the panorama and Daniel’s spirit came out at night because Nebuchadnezzar wanted to know the dream and Daniel’s spirit traveled in time and saw Nebuchadnezzar dreaming and the dream was like a visual to him and he went back. Daniel fasted and prayed with strength. When that was happening Shamah commented when he was standing there and looking on. He said, “Prayer and fasting is the key to all things spiritual and natural.” Do you think that this is a demon or deception? It doesn’t look like that, my friend. We are in the most awesome revival that people don't know. Think carefully, if a revival comes, will it come according to your theological books, or according to some preconceived pattern of thinking that you have or according to Church history? When you pray for revival, and when it comes, it will not follow according to the book. It always takes you by surprise. It is always above and beyond what you ask or think. But the most important thing is that we hold certain principles. No 1, we will never accept anything contradictory to the Bible. I am a stickler to the Word of God. If it is not in the Word, I will not even consider it. No 2, does it glorify Jesus? No 3, does it bring us closer to God? Does it make you love God more? No 4, does it revive your life or does it make you go back to the world and sin more? All these signs tell you that there is a very holy awesomeness coming. This is the pre call of the call and we have to take this seriously. We have to realize that it takes a long while for God to organize this revival. He has been waiting for 2000 years and Heaven is so rejoicing for what is happening. This is the reason for this message. Let us enter into this revival. Let us embrace it. Let us walk with God. Let us become more holy. And let us fast, pray and seek God more. Let us say to God, let the revival come. Let us not be caught in technicalities that we don't even know of just because they didn’t fit into our books. As long as it is in the Bible, let us go on with it. And remember, whether you believe it or not, it will happen. God won't say to you that He will wait for you to accept and receive it then He will do it. God is determined to do it. Additionally whether you want it or not, this whole world is changing. My friend, the natural world is changing, economically, politically and naturally. I wonder whether the earthquake that is predicted here

is tied to the release of the two fallen angels now locked up under ice and snow in Siberia. We will never know. Usually earthquakes come in a few places at the same time as they occur beneath the earth and the tremors are felt. It is really awesome where we are. This is an exhortation to enter into the fullness of God. You might not notice it, we are only six months since 9 February 2012 when Satan was dethroned in Pergamos and already people’s lives are changing. You might be a Gemalial and wait for another 2 – 3 years but the longer you wait, you will miss 2-3 years of blessings. The call is let us be blessed. Let us receive all that God wants to bless us and know the signs and wonders of God today. God has given the prophecy that the seven parts of the highways are being built and His message to the Church that “I am coming soon.”
